ATACMS™

ATACMS Block IA Unitary

The ATACMS Block IA Unitary configuration employs an upgraded guidance and control system, new software and an improved fuze. These upgrades provide a vertical impact capability that increases the reliability, accuracy and lethality of the missile while reducing collateral damage. This configuration is fielded by the U.S. Army and several allied countries.

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control produces the Army Tactical Missile System for the U.S. Army and allied armies.

ATACMS is a long-range, guided missile that gives commanders the immediate firepower to shape the battlespace. Each ATACMS missile is packaged in a Multiple Launch Rocket System look-alike launch pod, and is fired from the MLRS family of launchers.

ATACMS is the only long-range tactical surface-to-surface missile ever employed in combat by the U.S. Army. More than 540 ATACMS have been fired, and the system has demonstrated extremely high rates of combat accuracy and reliability.

Features• The Block IA Unitary delivers a monolithic high explosive warhead using GPS guidance

and has a range of 300 kilometers.

• The Block IA Unitary has vertical impact capability, and collateral damage is much less than 100 m from the point of impact. This system has a much more effective logistical trail and expands the target set for Army TACMS.

“Precision Fires expresses their appreciation to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control for the outstanding record of 20 years production of “on time” or “ahead of schedule” of the ATACMS that have been delivered to the warfighter and successfully employed against the evolving enemy. The hard work and diligent efforts of Lockheed Martin provides the warfighter a full quiver of arrows that work the first time, every time, capable of engaging all targets.”

– COL. David Rice, U.S. Army Project Manager/ Precision Fires Rocket and Missile Systems
